I'm old enough to remember when people on this sub insisted Biden was perfectly fine and could have been president for 4 more years.

NYTimes starts reporting on Biden's age related issues, bringing light to an issue that had been somewhat covered up by Democrats and staffers

This sub begins to hate the NYT for undermining its preferred candidate

Then Biden drops out because of his age related issues

Rather than being grateful that the NYT had been doing actual journalism, and that it helped prevent the DNC from running a lame duck, this sub continues to hate the NYT for bringing attention to the issue

This is some weird historical revisionism. We've hated the NYT for years.
